More than just a pretty face SP. I've been around pressure vessels more than a few decades. Actually, I'm operating a few as we speak. The second it was on the news I had my suspicions. |

The other thing about this whole episode of pulverising four innocent people unnecessarily, was the self righteous comment by the Ocean gate CEO about "old, white haired men not being inspirational".
Well said. One of us is now a skid mark, whilst the rest of us are still vertical.

The latest from America on this subject is that obviously the people involved and especially the CEO of the company was toooo woke. Probably next we'll see some experts state that 'if only the passengers had been armed'  |

When a guy who has done a solo descent to Challenger Deep, Titanic Director James Cameron, tells you your procedures are not adequate. You really should listen.

Mythbusters - Compresed Diver *Gory* It is gory, be warned. That was only 135 lbs/sq inch. The Titan was about 3000 lbs/sq inch. |

Was the billionare guy a friend of Soros and Gates and into injecting chips into people to control them? Did the young guy Suleman Dawood, studying at Glasgow University, have an Elon Musk NeuroLink to control the vehicle? Are my green friends from Mars as innocent as they tell me? Tune in again next week for another episode of "The Great Bump off" |

I don't want to sound callous and Uncaring but I really have had my fill of this story.
It has dominated the news for days now, when I'm sure there is other important news which deserves better coverage.
Let's face facts here, the only reason for the blanket reporting is because there were billionaires on board.
The recent migrant boat disasters have seen hundreds of deaths, including many children, yet the reporting of these has been very sparse in comparison.
While I'm writing this there is a very good chance that over 5 Mexican migrants have been shot in L.A., where is their extensive coverage?
Russia is on the verge of a coup, which could end as a civil war and totally change the outcome of the rape of Ukraine, which in turn will change world politics.
Why is there still more reporting on the Titan sub than on the situation in Russia?
I do feel sympathy for the families of the lost ones on this sub but no more than I would feel sympathy for anyone who has lost a loved one.
Sorry, rant over.

As my friend once said "“If you prick us, do we not bleed? if you tickle us, do we not laugh? if you poison us, do we not die? and if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?”" More to the point, it would be a very flat point and in the deep dark colourless. |
